What is "Midgard"?
In Norse mythology, Midgard is the realm of humans, situated at the center of the cosmos and connected to other worlds by the World Tree, Yggdrasil. It is often depicted as Earth or the world inhabited by human beings. Midgard is surrounded by a vast ocean, which is encircled by the serpent Jörmungandr, and it is linked to Asgard, the realm of the gods, by the Bifröst, a rainbow bridge. The concept of Midgard underscores the connection between humans and the divine, emphasizing its role as the central world in Norse cosmology.
